That's the Law of the Garbage Truck

The moment I hopped into d’ cab

we took off for the airport soon

the driver was in the proper lane,

my flight was at 2 in d’ afternoon

 

We moved toward our destination

with no hurry and no need to race

in front of us, a black car abruptly

jumped out of one parking space

 

My cab driver slammed on d’ brakes,

skidding & missing that car by inches!

d’ other guy whipped d' head around,

began yelling at us with foul language

 

Yet my poor chap gave a thin smile,

acted friendly and waved at d’ guy

before I could grasp his curious act,

we moved ahead, bid him a goodbye

 

How dare he do that? I retorted,

the guy almost smashed our car!

could have sent us to d’ hospital

or maybe to the heavenly abode

 

Certain species exist in our society,

who run around with all filthy stuff

carrying their frustrations and anger,

have disappointments, seem rough

 

As their wasteful rubbish piles up,

they need somewhere to dump it

woefully they might dump it on u,

why take it personally, why fight?

 

Why unwillingly accept the garbage,

take it on our shoulders, spread it?

on the peace-loving people at work,

innocent souls at home/on d' streets

 

D’ wise don’t let d’ garbage trucks

casually take over their nice day

why lose your mental peace and

invite irrelevant negativity to stay

 

Just smile, wave, and wish them well,

never get surprised or go into shock

take it casually; things often happen,

that's the Law of the Garbage Truck
